Table 139. Mail server settings for notifications
Setting	Description
Outgoing E-mail Server (SMTP)	Type the machine name or IP Address of the Mail Server.
Port number	The default SMTP listener port is port number 25. If the Mail Server is configured to listen on a different port, specify the port number.
NetVault’s E-mail Address	Type the sender’s email address for notifications.
NetVault’s Real Name	Type the sender’s name for email notifications.
Perform Authentication	To perform authentication, select this check box. You can use this setting only if your Mail Server supports LOGIN or PLAIN protocols.
Authentication Account	Specify a user account that can be used for SMTP authentication. This option is only required if the Perform Authentication check box is selected. If no user account is specified, the user name from NetVault’s E‑mail Address is used for authentication. For example, if you specify “User-A@mycompany.com” in the NetVault’s E‑mail Address box, NetVault Backup uses “User-A” to perform SMTP authentication.
Authentication Password	Type the password for the SMTP authentication account.
Confirmation Authentication Password	Re-type the password for confirmation.
Use hostname instead of nvsendmail	Select this check box to use the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) instead of nvsendmail with the EHLO and HELO commands. NetVault Backup uses the host name in mail server messages, so the system must be set up with an FQDN to display the host name in FQDN format.
